The Jean Stebbins Trophy is a single person event was conducted over 4 weeks in October, players being required to play with a different partner each time.  The winner is the player with the highest aggregate percentage for their best 3 sessions

Unusually there was a tie for first place this year and two members were declared equal winners: Chris Dixon and Jeanette Weaver.  There names will be added to the honours board and they each receive a cash prize. Save

Throughout the year there are regular daytime and evening bridge sessions on every day except Sunday. Some of these are used for multi-session tournaments or other special events although there is usually also a single session walk-in pairs competition. In addition some of our special events are held on Sundays.

You can learn the basics of bridge by joining one of Peninsula Bridge Club's 12 week beginners’ courses which currently are held on Tuesday afternoons and Wednesday evenings at certain times of the year. We also conduct Supervised Play sessions on Friday mornings from 10 am to noon which are very suitable for new players wishing to improve their knowledge and skill at the game. Contact Harley Antill (tel 9979 6707) for further details about these courses and sessions.

Most players arrange their own partners but players seeking a partner can contact either of the following members who act as brokers:

Audrey Roger (tel: 9979 6696) or Dorothy Pool (tel: 9997 8808)

For the afternoon session on Friday it is not necessary to pre-arrange a partner as players without partners will be paired up at the time.

Table money for walk-in sessions is $3 for members and $5 for visitors.  For special events the table money is usually higher.  After playing four times as a visitor, players may apply for membership.  Currently we have almost 400 members.  The joining fee is $35 and the annual subscription, which includes ABF and NSW Bridge Association affiliation fees, is also $35.  Transfer from other bridge clubs or alternate membership is always welcome.
